The city of Beijing seemed calm due to Jiajing's silence. Although the local impeachment memorials against Gao Hanwen have been like flakes, the central government is standing still.
Jiajing, Yandang, Qingliu and even others who want to take advantage of the opportunity are waiting. As for what they are waiting for, it is unknown. But obviously everyone needs to take a look at Gao Hanwen's next move.
In the city of Hangzhou, acting governor Zheng Michang has become a full-time official governor through the successful implementation of changing rice to mulberry. He Maocai also followed the official promotion and was promoted from the original inspector to the chief envoy of Hangzhou.
As a result, there was a vacancy for the inspector general, and Lu Fang, the chief ceremonial officer, proposed Zhang Xunfu. Gao Hanwen, who didn't have much knowledge, didn't know the market situation, but he knew to go to Zheng Michang to inquire.
The new Zhejiang Inspector Zhang Xunfu, 57 years old, has been working as an idle official from the southern Zhili Province. He is the Minister of Rites of the third rank. Although this Inspector is also a third rank, he has real power at least, and he is basically a level official. promotion.
The most important thing is not the appointment information, but the family. This person is the third son of the former cabinet chief minister Zhang Cong. This basically shows Jiajing's attitude. Sure enough, a person with enough weight was sent to guard Gao Hanwen on the front line.
When Gao Hanwen went to the governor's office, Zheng Michang had received a reply from Yan Shifan the day before. According to the content of the letter, Zheng Michang called He Maocai to seriously criticize Gao Hanwen.
But this criticism is quite limited. Because of the harsh wording of credit, Mr. Xiao Ge always criticized from the perspective of a teacher. It's just that you don't involve anyone else in the matter.
After guessing this attitude, the two losers Zheng Michang and He Maocai also made a decision, that is, they will never interfere with Gao Hanwen's word business. Let's watch him build tall buildings and watch them collapse. Just do it.
With this attitude, Gao Hanwen is actually thankful. It almost made him feel a hint of the warmth that we, the strict party members, do not attack the strict party members.
After confirming that the flag of the Strict Party can no longer be flown, but it will still be under the wing of the Strict Party. Gao Hanwen hurried back to his hometown to deal with several big gentry in Hangzhou City.
Five days ago, Gao Hanwen received a letter from Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County. Hai Rui thought about it after reading the storybook intermittently. The content of the letter is quite simple. It is nothing more than that Gao Hanwen abandoned the traditional model of wise kings and wise ministers and raised an unprecedented problem, which has never been solved before. If Gao Hanwen cannot solve this problem, he will be regarded by all bureaucrats as creating problems.
Bureaucrats can solve the problem but cannot solve the problem
Although the traditional model of wise kings and wise ministers cannot completely solve the problem, it provides a clear operation to alleviate the problem. The method is to have wise kings and wise ministers. And now Gao Hanwen's 300-day cycle of fighting chaos is almost an unsolvable problem. No solution means the despair of intellectuals. If the elites of a court are desperate, how long can it last?
Gao Hanwen was careless about this before, and he did not expect to make such a big mistake.
Obviously, except for a few gentry who suddenly started complaining about tax exemption, the reason is very simple. They spent money to rent the land, so the business tax must be reduced or exempted. The rest was uneventful.
Leave it to me that there was a man named Maize Xiaofu in later generations who also shouted that he had a problem, but could not solve it. The outcome is that the elites of Big Brother's court have become desperate and can no longer unite, and Big Brother will inevitably decline and collapse.
Therefore, in order to make up for this problem, we must come up with a constructive approach. Jiajing's ability to remain silent may be due to his practical value.
But it is so difficult to find a way in this environment.
Not long after thinking about it in the study, the housekeeper came to report that Xu, Zhao, Zheng, He and Shen from the front office had come to discuss business tax reduction and exemption again.
"Governor, I hope that the governor will be aware of everything and tell the emperor clearly. We rented fields to plant mulberry trees, in line with national policies, and to help the victims. Not to say that the hard work is meritorious, at least we tried our best. But renting fields is indeed a waste of money. Those who have money cannot pay business taxes as before. If this is the case, who will dare to respond to national policies in the future? Isn't this clearly bullying honest people?" Xu Yuanwai spoke first.
"Gao Zhifu, I was the first to respond to your policy, but now it is true. The court cannot always let the horse run and let the horse not eat grass, besides, this business The tax isn't much at first. You can waive it if you want." Zhao Zhenshan spoke after Xu Yuanwai. Although he got close, it made Gao Hanwen even more embarrassed.
But after these words, Gao Hanwen seemed to have grasped the key point. Originally, the commercial tax was not much, but it was not clear how much it was. He immediately responded, "How much was the original commercial tax? I don’t know yet. I have asked Xu Tongzhi, Governor Shen, and Ma Zhaomo Huitong to calculate it. I can’t give you an answer until the calculation is clear.”
That’s it, so we don’t know yet and we are still working on it. The reason was passed again.
But prevaricating like this every day is not the answer. This routine of coming to chat regularly every afternoon left me no time to think about dealing with the pressure on Jiajing's end.
Hey, by this time, Gao Hanwen realized that this seemed to be a conspiracy. The commercial tax reduction was just a pretext. Even if it was really reduced, there would be other things, mainly just to take up the time of him, the prefect. As time goes by, Jiajing loses his patience, and everything will stop.
Gao Hanwen, who realized this situation, became even more depressed. This Ming Dynasty deserves to die. Whenever they want to do something, the leader thinks of immediate results, while the colleagues think of all kinds of obstacles. Can this dilapidated house with air leakage everywhere be framed?
Although I was depressed, I thought about the old unlucky Zhang Juzheng behind me. Gao Hanwen encouraged himself secretly.
At the end of the afternoon, an old scholar entered the Yamen.
Menzi went to drive him away but was blocked by him with official documents.
The housekeeper came to report that Gao Hanwen, who had just wanted to get off work early and had already walked to the backyard, had to go back to the front office.
"Excuse me, old gentleman, what are you doing here?" Gao Hanwen asked politely.
"You are Gao Zhifu, Mr. Gao" the old man asked in surprise.
"I am Gao Hanwen, sir, please tell me." Gao Hanwen was also surprised. Does this mean he came prepared?
"Haha, don't be surprised, Gao Prefecture, I am the new appointee. Zhang Xunfu, the inspector general of Zhejiang Province, wanted to implement national policies in Hangzhou, relieve the people and write books. Mr. Gao should be somewhat bookish, but he didn't expect to be so easy-going." Zhang Xunfu quickly explained to ease the atmosphere.
"Now, Mr. Zhang is very polite. I don't dare to use the word sir. At your age, it's appropriate to be my husband. If you call me sir, won't you lose your life?" Gao Hanwen declined while receiving the courtesy. This is another trap
"There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. I should call you sir, but you can't refuse." Zhang Xunfu continued stubbornly.
